"Ah..." Danianzi shivered in fright.
Fortunately, the precious saber didn’t chop towards his neck, but flew over his head and then stuck into the ground behind him. He felt a lightness on his forehead and saw a strand of hair fluttering to the ground, which immediately brought cold sweat to his brow, "General..."
"You have just one chance..." Zhou Jiang spoke in an unquestionable tone, "If you miss it, go ahead and slaughter him."
"Yes," Lin Weiming agreed without hesitation.
"Don’t kill me, I’ll talk, I’ll tell you everything..." Danianzi knew he had no chance of escape today, but he didn’t want to die, so he had no choice but to speak.
Meanwhile, back at the Yang Family courtyard.
Early the next morning, Yang Ruxin went to town to buy joss paper money for the ancestors and took the opportunity to stop by Hechun Hall.
"Girl, I was just about to look for you. You said you wanted to buy some property, right? Huzi has finally found a suitable place." Wang Zhenggang was very excited to see Yang Ruxin, "If you hadn’t come today, I was planning to find you. There’re two places..."
"Really?" Yang Ruxin’s eyes lit up when she heard this, "Then let’s go have a look."
Both houses were nice, one was a storefront facing the street, not far from Quanshun Building, with a two-story front and a small courtyard behind it, plus three rooms. The other was purely residential, with six main rooms, a series of side chambers on both sides, and two large courtyards in front and back. It was also not far from the storefront, separated by just one street; about a fifteen-minute walk. However, that house was much larger in area.
The silver Yang Ruxin left with Wang Zhenggang would require an additional twenty taels to purchase the storefront, but if she bought the residential property, she could save ten taels.
Wang Zhenggang originally intended for Yang Ruxin to purchase the storefront, but to his surprise, she decided to hold on to all the silver.
"Silver can be earned again," Yang Ruxin smiled, "But property and storefront are fixed assets..."
Wang Zhenggang said nothing more, as he knew this girl always acted with discretion.
"By the way, my mother woke up, so today, I actually came to ask you to come over and check on her..."
"Really?" Wang Zhenggang was immediately excited upon hearing this, and forgetting everything else, he grabbed his medicine box and ran out the door.
Yang Ruxin had to chase after him, and when they reached the entrance to the town, she hired a donkey cart. She couldn’t let the old man walk all the way to the village.
After Wang Zhenggang examined Xun Hui, he kept exclaiming it was a miracle! But when he saw Dao Xuzi, he immediately understood.
"Do you know me?" Dao Xuzi frowned at Wang Zhenggang.
"Many years ago, this junior had the honor of meeting the senior once," Wang Zhenggang was indeed both shocked and delighted.
"Enough with the ’senior’ and ’junior,’ it sounds awkward," Dao Xuzi waved his hand, "Go do what you need to do. I’m telling you, my apprentice may cook well, but not just anyone can come and freeload meals here..."
"Apprentice?" Wang Zhenggang glanced at Yang Ruxin and suddenly had a realization. No wonder the girl refused to accept him as her master. It turned out that... he blamed himself for overestimating his abilities, and couldn’t help but laugh at himself, "This junior wouldn’t dare, I’ll take my leave..." He better hurry on his way and go freeload off Li Yi instead.
Just as Wang Zhenggang was about to leave, Yang Baixiang suddenly arrived.
"Uncle Xiaowu, is something the matter?" Yang Ruxin hurriedly let Yang Baixiang into the yard.
"It’s... your grandfather sent me..." Yang Baixiang sighed, "Your grandpa said... he said..."
